And the winners of these Grammy Awards are …

With awards season in full swing for the film industry, it’s time this Sunday for the music industry to recognize its best at the 55th annual Grammy Awards. So this week I decided to take a look at some of the nominations and take a guess at who will win.

Best Rock Album

The Black Keys, El Camino

Bruce Springsteen, Wrecking Ball

Jack White, Blunderbuss

Coldplay, Mylo Xyloto

Muse, The 2nd Law

The Winner: The Black Keys and Jack White are great contenders for this category. But when it comes to greatness in the rock world, it’s hard to beat Bruce Springsteen. I have a feeling the Boss is going to beat out the young whipper-snappers.

Best Country Album

Zach Brown Band, “Uncaged”

Hunter Hayes, “Hunter Hayes”

Jamey Johnson, “Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran”

Miranda Lambert, “Four the Record”

The Time Jumpers, “The Time Jumpers”

The Winner: Johnson should probably be the winner in this category. This new outsider in Nashville has made quite an impression on country music and has a promising future. But as things go, country starlet Miranda Lambert will probably win for her hit album “Four the Record.”

Best New Artist

Alabama Shakes

Fun.

Hunter Hayes

Frank Ocean

The Lumineers

The Winner:Best New Artist is always a tough category. Just about all the nominees are deserving of a win. Fun. has had a pretty huge year and The Lumineers won hearts with their single “Ho Hey.” Ocean, though, has captured the ears of all kinds of critics without making a splash on the usual markets. Ocean will be the winner.

Song of the Year

Ed Sheeran, “The A Team”

Miguel, “Adorn”

Carly Rae Jepsen, “Call Me Maybe”

Kelly Clarkson, “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)”

Fun. Feat. Janelle Monae, “We Are Young”

The Winner:I believe hands down that Fun. has this category. This song was everywhere from commercials to sporting events and Fun. has had an incredible year. The only nominee that has a chance of stealing is Jepsen if voters get in touch with their inner tween.

Record of the Year

The Black Keys, “Lonely Boy”

Kelly Clarkson, “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)”

Fun. Feat. Janelle Monae, “We Are Young”

Frank Ocean, “Thinkin Bout You”

Gotye Feat. Kimbra, “Somebody That I Used to Know”

Taylor Swift, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”

The Winner:Swift’s and Clarkson’s entries are light contenders (not to mention Swift’s is annoying) to win the prize. The rest are all good contenders. The Black Keys will be overshadowed. Fun. will probably gain the win with Gotye and Ocean with the possible steal.

Album of the Year

The Black Keys, El Camino

Fun., Some Nights

Frank Ocean, Channel Orange

Mumford & Sons, Babel

Jack White, Blunderbuss

The Winner: Just about all of these are possible winners. I don’t think it is in the cards for White to win and the competition is too tough for The Black Keys. The top contenders are Mumford & Sons and Frank Ocean. The win is ripe for Mumford with the monumental success that Babel has had. Give it another couple of years and Ocean will probably nail this category.
